Happy Friday. Nothing new to report on my mom. She's still in the hospital and I'm not sure when she's getting out at this point. My two sisters who were in on a group text with myself and our brother started give my attitude yesterday when I misunderstood a text…

Happy Monday!!! The weekend was pretty good. Took time to go through some horse tack and get it ready for a sale coming up this Sunday. Didn't do all that much else. The truck didn't want to start so we still didn't get the billy goat, but I'm not overly…

I had my surgery in 2011. Since then, I have had almost chronic issues with constipation. Can someone recommend a safe and effective colon cleanse? It would be much appreciated. Thank you and please reply to [email protected]. I really need your help and opinions.

Friday Eve is here again. Still bitter cold out, but it is slowly starting to break. Yesterday we had one of the big air compressors that help with the boilers go off-line at work right before reporters from The Day newspaper came to do a story and take pictures. So…

Happy Tuesday!! So cold out poor Meisha didn't even want to go out to go potty. Lucky for her I have the big garden/greenhouse so she just had to run quickly to that instead of walking around in the snow. Her paws were getting cold walking in the snow and…

I'm in the last week of my time in Italy. It has been a wonderful experience and given me a lot to think about. I am always soothed and gladdened by the scenery even when just riding up the hill on a bus. There are plenty of towns that are…

Where has the time gone. The struggle is real, some days. Always on my mind, the relief that I am not struggling to climb stairs, walk long distances, or play with our grandchildren. Life is good, even on days I eat my way through the day. RNY is part of…

Hi everyone, I'm about 2.5 years post loop switch. I know it's not a traditional DS but here I am. I've had some ups and downs after surgery starting at about 7 months post when I'd reached my goal weight. I got my gallbladder out and had several procedures with…

Dr. Baranov is the very best doctor that I have seen. He is incredibly thorough and he truly cares for his patients. Surgery went very smoothly and the staff at the hospital were professional and kind. Every single person I came in contact with was excellent. Dr. B saw me…
Dr. Ferzli was very professional and caring. I liked how he wasn’t pushy with me when talking about the surgery. He has a great office team. They are all very helpful. The support groups are helpful too!
I was a cash pay patient, so I could choose any surgeon I wanted, anywhere. After researching all my options close to home (Houston, TX area), and going to Mexico and the costs, I reached out to Dr. Alvarez. Brandi, my patient coordinator was and still is so kind and…
I had Gastric Bypass Surgery with Saratoga Bariatric on December 11th 2024 and the whole process from start to finish with Dr. Baranov and his staff was exceptional. I had great care from start to finish and I am now starting my new healthier lifestyle and I have no regrets…
I had a very successful surgery but now I'm in need of records from my surgery in 1994. Does anybody know how I can get them???
